Still Nora's point of view

"Oh! You're awake, now tell me the rest of the story! Come on Jason! Tell me!" I say after Jason wakes up. "Fine, hmm, OK. So he was in front  of the mirror. When he saw himself in the mirror, all he saw was a face, a horrible face. A face that couldn't be described it was so horrible! " Jason says in a deep voice. "Oh come on! seriously! but I wanted to know what the face looked like! Well, what happened next?" I said back. "Well, how about this. Since he didn't want to look at his horrible face, he tried to steel  someone else's face. So when he grew up, and yes, he grew up, he would always hide in the woods to try and steel someone else's face. The end, end of story. I'm hungry, let's go eat some breakfast." Jason said. "Fine, but can you explain the story to me?" I asked Jason. "Fine, do you want waffles or pancakes?" he says. "pancakes, do you want syrup?"

                                                                 .  .  .

"So, can you explain the ending?" I say. "Yeah, so what part of the ending?" Jason says. "Well, the whole part about him trying to steel people's faces and what is his real form?" I say. "OK, well, he didn't have a face, it was a shadow. Also, he could steel people's identity and take their form, so if he stole someone's identity, then he would basically be like a duplicate twin. He would also try to take the loved ones of the person. So, do you get it now?" Jason said while stuffing pancakes in his mouth. "OH! Now I get it!" I say. "OK, where do you want to go for our date?" I ask. "Well, how about a burger place?" Jason suggests. "Sounds neat. Then do you want to go into the woods?" I say. "Um, sure. But why?" Jason asks. "I just wanted to go into the woods just like the story." I say. "OK. Can we go?"

                                                                      .  .  .

"I had fun." I say to Jason. "Me too." He says back. "So, here we are, watching the stars." I say.  "Do you like it?" He asks me. "Yeah, there's nowhere I'd rather be. This is the most beautiful thing I ever saw." I say. "Well, I am seeing something more beautiful than the stars." Jason says while looking at me. "Oh come on, you just said that to make me feel better!" I said. "Nope, it's all true." He said. "Well, I have a job interview in the morning so I have to get some good sleep. Good night, love you." I said while leaving. "Good night and good luck! Hope you get to be a doctor!" Jason says. When I am almost to my car, I here Jason scream. "Jason!?" I yell staring at the trees while they mock me, not letting me see him. I race back into the woods and I here a shriek. A shriek that wasn't Jason's.  "JASON!" I yell getting worried. I see where we were sitting before and I couldn't see Jason. "JASON! WHERE ARE YOU!?" I scream. " I'm right here." He says sneaking up behind me. "Jason, you screamed, I thought you got hurt or something! I also heard this weird shriek, did someone try to hurt you, or rob you?" I anxiously ask while he stares at me with his hood over his head so I couldn't directly see his face. "NO, i'm alright, no need to get worried." He said with a weird manor. "But Jason, are you sure?" I ask. "I said yes! I'm alright, now go home and get some sleep so you can get you're job interview." he says forcefully. "Bu-" I say before he interrupts me. "I said i'm alright!" He says with a louder voice. "OK, I was just worried, OK, I'll go. Bye. See you later" I say. I went back to my car looking back and I see Jason looking at a tree.
